I have noticed a significant increase in performance on my bike by using the rowing machine regularly. The machine uses the same muscle groups when you pull up on your handlebars. My sidehops have become higher and my gaps further. The rowing machine increases strength and hardly any muscle compared to doing weights. Doing weights for long periods of time will only slow you down and make you less flexible and flexibility is important in trials. Hope this has helped, Lewis

Like jersey rider said, try and get more inspiration off other riders. I find an hour on YOUTUBE searching for trials videos does the trick! lewis

Hi there! Thankyou for advice and opinions everyone! Has anyone got the new zoo cranks? What do you think? Ive seen a pair of tensiles snap, mike (leedstrials) was doing something stupidly technical like usual. So im slighty off those. Thanks, lewis

Hi guys! I have been using square taper middleburns for a couple of years now and i think its time for a change. I had a pair of splined midleburns and managed to round them. I dont trust square taper bottom brackets anymore and there are many more splined BB'S on the market that take my fancy. If anyone could give me their opinion on the new zoo cranks and any other splined cranks that would be great! Recommendations would be good! Thanks, Lewis

Where are you from?

They were excellent videos!!! Some really amazing skills!!! The videos could have been edited down some more though. Nice work! lewis

Yeah, thats the one!!! oh what fun can be had on that wall!

HI! My front disc is squeaking loudly but works a dream!!! For the first time in ages i can actually say my bike is running smooooothly!!! Touch wood! lewis

Nice bike, What freewheel are you running? lewis

Hi there, DDG shooters are originally dual slalom frames. They have a low BB and a high front end. I used to ride one back in the day so did many, but we soon moved on. If you can avoid getting one do so! if its your budget restricting you look a onza T-rex or a Base. Hope this has helped! lewis

If you are wanting to hook a vertical wall you need the wall to be higher than your bikes lenghth otherwise you wont be able to hook. I find it much easier to hook higher walls than small walls, unlike Damon who can hook anything going!!! Like Ali said try it on a sloped wall, like the one in Bradford, everyone knows about that beautiful wall!!! lewis

I know, i thought ovens were for pizzas and stuff, haha Thanks for all your help the guys who replied! lewis

Yes......Loads....... Is there anything you would like to know? Happy to be assistance! lewis

Yeah i agree, there is no point climbing up something to jump off, its pointless, it trashes your bike and your limbs!!! Try and find ways of getting up obsticals without getting off your bike, then if a drop is in the line get it done!!! lewis

Thanks for that, i wont bother putting them in the oven! ill just give them a good clean!!! lewis

Very nice indeed!!! Ride the beast hard!!! lewis

The first one is mainly danny aswell, what a vid!!! The second one is pure crazy! How long must it of taken him to take his forks and front wheel off to do that!!! Theres no quick release! ha ha!!! nutter! lewis

Try petrol!!! it surprisingly works well and use wire wool!!! lewis

Hi!!! Don't get addicted to the forum! its too easy!!! ha ha! welcome! lewis

Ill try that, i would of never of thought pouring hot water on the pads would work and putting them in the oven? how does this help? matter of interest. ill try it though if you say works. thanks, lewis

Thanks, i think changing the pads will be my next option and ill give everything a good old scrub lewis
